I give up. I am about an inch away from relinquishing maintainership of
the official cygwin libpng package. This is just too much.
What the hell was wrong with pkg-config? Why not just stick with that;
everyone else in the world is moving from foo-config to pkg-config/pc
files! Here, I thought png was being smart and ahead of the curve and
forward thinking by skipping the whole 'foo-config' stage and going
straight for pkg-config!
Geez, there's even a native windows port of pkg-config.
It's a good thing I never got around to officially uploading the
cygwin-libng-1.2.2 package. do you know that libpng takes more care and
feeding than any other package I maintain except for cvs...
somebody on the cygwin mailing list was just hectoring me about my
refusal to support another package, the ungrateful wretch. "How much
time does it really take?" they asked. Harrumph.

I'm not removing pkgconfig/libpng.pc
I am merely adding bin/libpng-config for anyone who wants it.
You are free to ignore libpng-config.

Yes, I just got finished reading the last two weeks of png-implement.
(Next I'll start on the US Tax Code...<g>). I misunderstood your
earlier email; it sounded like png-config was going to *replace*
pkg-config/libpng*.pc, which would definitely be a step backwards IMO.
However, *adding* a png-config is not a bad idea at all; people seem to
be more comfortable with scripting around those in client configure.in's
for some reason.
As I said, I'm all better now. Move along, nothin' to see here...

Now if my colleagues would come to a conclusion about whether
png_zalloc should be exported or not... I've been yanked back and
forth at least 4 or 5 times on a short chain about that. I don't think
it should, but what do I know?
